Cherry Mobile Candy and Candy Chat: the Cheapest Android Phones in the Country

You have to hand it to Cherry Mobile. For a local handset company going against big brands, Cherry Mobile has had an impressive run in the past years and it is the only local brand to have consistently offered capable Android handsets at very low price points. And just when you thought Cherry Mobile’s handsets cannot get any cheaper, the company surprises us with even cheaper Android handsets.

The Cherry Mobile Candy is one of the cheapest Android handsets in the country today, the other one being the Cherry Mobile Candy Chat. The candy is priced at P3,699 and it is dual-SIM, Wi-Fi capable, and has camera, FM radio and even Bluetooth. It runs a 416MHz processor, though, but this should just be right for the price of the device. The Candy has a 2.8-inch resistive screen and does not have a physical keyboard.
